Toronto police say scissor attack on a girl's hijab 'did not happen'

"We had some very serious allegations on Friday, which we investigated", Toronto police spokesperson Mark Pugash told Global News.

In a release Monday, police said "after a detailed investigation, police have determined that the events described in the original news release did not happen".

Toronto Police began investigating the incident Friday after it was reported that a man attempted to attack the girl and cut her hijab while she walked to school.

According to the police, the girl was on her way to school when she noticed that a man was trying to cut her hijab with a pair of scissors.

Pugash declined to say whether the girl had acknowledged that the incident had not happened. She also said the man had returned a short time later and had continued to cut her hijab from behind before smiling and running away.

The story made global headlines and drew public condemnation from the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau. "Canada is an open and welcoming country, and incidents like this can not be tolerated", Trudeau tweeted Friday.

During an emotional press conference last Friday, where she was accompanied her mother, Khawlah Noman said she was afraid to go back to school.

"These allegations were extremely serious and not surprisingly, they received national and worldwide attention", police spokesperson Mark Pugash said in an interview.

"I felt really scared and confused", she said.

Ryan Bird, a spokesman for the Toronto district school oard, said officials were "very thankful" that the alleged assault had not in fact happened. "I am so proud to be a Canadian, and I want to give (the attacker) the same message", she said.

Premier Kathleen Wynne, who called it a cowardly act of hate that had no place in Ontario, issued a statement on Monday, but did not provide any comment on whether this incident might make Canadians less likely to believe similar allegations.
